Service Status Groups

All services and drivers can now be organised by their status. The following categories exist:

StatusDescription
HealthyService is running and operating normally.
DegradedService is running, but is reporting degraded performance.
InactiveService has been disabled and is currently not running.
Not foundService status could be retrieved as it might still be starting or might not report a status.

Users can group the services according to status by selecting the appropriate category in the tab panel. The number of services with a specific status will also be displayed in the heading.

Error Pages

The latest version of the V-Raptor™’s ingress now contains customised error pages. The error pages will need to be enabled in the Raptor ingress’ configuration.

Note: These error pages will not make use of theming as they exist independent of user accounts by design.


Known Issues

The following issues were detected and are being addressed in the next release of the V-Raptor™.

Deleting configuration files

We are aware of an issue that occurs when attempting to delete all the configuration files on a service. The problem is known to occur when using the following API on the V-Raptor™’s deployment agent:

/api/config/delete/all

In the interim configuration files can be deleted individually.

Theming changes don’t always apply

We are also aware of an issue that causes the user’s theme to be set in Commander™ but not on V-Raptor™.

Technical Notes

This section provides a summary of changes that impact parties responsible for managing V-Raptor™ installations.
